"Shipping in a Stiff Breeze" is a marine painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Jan Porcellis (c. 1584–1632), known for his pioneering contributions to the genre of seascapes. This work exemplifies Porcellis's skill in capturing the dynamic interaction between vessels and the sea, a subject that fascinated Dutch artists and collectors during the 17th century, when the Netherlands was a leading maritime power.

The painting depicts a scene of ships navigating through choppy waters, with a stiff breeze that fills their sails and churns the sea. Porcellis's adept use of light and shadow, along with his nuanced portrayal of the sea's varying tones and textures, conveys the power and movement of the natural elements. His compositions often feature a low horizon line, which allows for an expansive view of the sky and emphasizes the vulnerability of ships against the vastness of the ocean.

Jan Porcellis's work marked a significant shift from the highly detailed and often calm maritime paintings of earlier periods to a more atmospheric and realistic representation of the sea's moods. "Shipping in a Stiff Breeze" is considered an important example of this transition and reflects the artist's influence on later marine painters, including his son, Julius Porcellis, and the renowned Willem van de Velde the Younger.

The painting is not only a testament to Porcellis's artistic mastery but also serves as a historical document of the seafaring culture that was integral to Dutch identity and prosperity. It remains an important work for the study of maritime art and the Dutch Golden Age, offering insight into the era's aesthetic preferences and the evolving relationship between humanity and the sea.
